About:
GifCapture is a lightweight, native macOS application designed for effortless screen recording directly to animated GIF format. It provides a streamlined alternative to complex video editing workflows by capturing screen activity and exporting it as a shareable GIF file instantly. This tool is ideal for developers and designers who need to quickly demonstrate UI interactions, report bugs, or create short tutorials without the overhead of full-featured video software.

Key Features:

Native macOS performance with a minimal, unobtrusive interface
Customizable frame rates and capture areas for optimized file sizes
Instant export to animated GIF without intermediate video rendering

Use Cases:

Creating bug reports with visual proof of UI glitches
Producing short software tutorials or feature demonstrations
Capturing and sharing animations or micro-interactions for design feedback

Alternatives:

Kap – Kap is a similar open-source tool but offers more export formats like MP4 and WebM, whereas GifCapture focuses exclusively on GIF output.
LICEcap – LICEcap is a cross-platform alternative, but GifCapture provides a more modern, native macOS user experience.
